been recently resurrected- While at place
called BrteatSerus, meaning 90 ing where Carl

entirely nude bodies OF three Indian girls hanging
nfeless frOm the branches OF a tree. The Indian
guide and hunter then told him remarkable
story OF the events in connection with these
young squaws. The Indians OF Blrteatserus, fear
ing removal TO White Earth Reservation, decided
TO Try and evoke the BLESSING and aid OF the Great
Spirit and revived the Old stom which has long
been forgotten. Three or the prettiest Indian
girls In the band OF ChippewaS were then invited
10 a feast and. after receiving the attentions and
decoration OF all assembled, were invited 10 par
take OF a draught or liquid which had been pre-
pared by the medicine man or the tribe, without
any know ledge OF the deadly nature OF the liquid
they drank. nd, in a Few minutes, were beyond
human assistance. For three days and nights
the Indians then held a weird and exciting SER

A Young WOMAN SUMMONED TO HER FRONT D00l
AND HORRIBLY BURNED.


dispatch from Haverhill, Mass, Nov. %, to the
Philadelphia Press says: Miss Mamie Nahon, q
pretty girl Of 18, lives at 70 Duncan street. She
was dressing for ball last evening, when some
one rang the bell and asked for her. The servant
asked the visitor to step in, but he declined She
then called Miss Manon. who threw a wrap over
her shoulders and ran down stairs. As she opened
the door the man outside stepped down the steps
TO the sidewalk. The next minute the girl gave
fearful Shrek and cried out ''Oh, am bindedw
Then the noise was heard OF glass breaking on the
sidewalk and OF somebody running rapidly down
the street. The unknown stranger had thrown
tumbler OF vtrio in the girls face and then after
dashing the glass on the bricks had made his es-
cape. Miss Mahon'S face, hands and neck were TEL
ribly burned. The walls and carpet in the entry
were also burned by the fluid.
The assault is null OF mystery. The servant says
the stranger looked like a woman, but may have
been a man dressed In a rubber coat and wearing
rubber boots. The police have found that an un-
known man bought some vitriOl at Underhill's
drug store in the afternoon.
Miss MahOn is held In high esteem and says she
did not know the mad an enemy In the world. DR..
Collins says he cannot tell until the bandageS are
removed whether the girl will be totally blind or
not.
